Save You
The Moxy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toes hanging over the edge
If I were stronger
I'd pick you up
Hold on a little longer
It'd be enough to save you
Oh, to save you
To save you
But I've tried so many ways
To save you
I can only say, I Iove you, I love you
I'd banish away the storms
Go back like it was before
I'd remove the clouds
And turn the sky blue
But baby, I don't know what else to do
To save you
Oh, to save you
I wish I knew another way
To save you
But I've tried so many ways
To save you
I can only say, I love you, I love you
You'll come down
You'll come down from there
You keep saying
It's a matter of time
I know you'll come down
you'll come down from there
You keep saying
It's a matter of time
I know you'll come down from there
You'll come down from there
Come down from there
It's a matter of time and
I know you'll come down
You'll come down from there
You keep saying
It's a matter of time and
I wish I knew another way
To save you
But I've tried so many ways
To save you
I can only say, I love you, I love you

Overall, "Save You" is a deeply moving song that highlights the complexities of mental health and the pain that comes with watching a loved one struggle with suicidal thoughts.
